Here’s how you can use them every day:
1. Diffuse for Mental Clarity
Add 5 drops of Peppermint, Lemon Myrtle, or Eucalyptus oil into your diffuser for a refreshing, invigorating atmosphere that helps improve focus and lift brain fog.

Make your own DIY spray by mixing Lavender or Sweet Orange oil with water and a splash of witch hazel. It’s a chemical-free way to freshen your space.

A few drops of Lavender or Chamomile on your pillow or in a bedside diffuser can promote deeper, more restful sleep.
